Mythical Super Hero Anne - Chapter 4

Forgot to continue posting the final two chapters of the story.Here's Chapter 4 of Episode 21 of The Adventures of Mythical Super Hero Anne

4.

"Itis I who have found you, my immortal enemy!" screamed Gilzilla, themonster from the sea. “The mind-thoughts of these three humans pondering yourreality led me right to your door.”

Ifhe had not been such a fright, Gilzilla's voice would have made the people of Japanlaugh.He had a high pitched, rathereffeminate voice that, when he spoke, sounded like gurgling water.His appearance was no laughing matter,however.He was over six feet tall, withbright yellow hair, and green skin.Inhis hand he held a sling shot, a weapon for flinging objects ofdestruction.It was rumored by thepeople of Tokyothat he had a mighty tail which helped him swim in the sea, but Mythical SuperHero Anne knew from past meetings that there was nothing in his pants thatresembled a tail.She also knew thateven without a tail, he was still the most fierce and feared villainouscreature in all the land and sea.

MythicalSuper Hero Anne stepped in between Gilzilla and her loved ones to protect themfrom anything dastardly Gilzilla might try.Diannakiro was screaming like the little girl she was. Matthewsan stoodtotally still, shocked into submission by the gruesome horror that wasGilzilla.Malirra closed her eyes andbegan to chant prayers in a tongue that predated ancient Japaneselanguage.

"Gilzilla,you are evil and must be destroyed!" shouted Mythical Super Hero Anne.

"MythicalSuper Hero Anne," said Gilzilla, in his high gurgling voice, "you area super hero that I once loved with all my soul, just as everyone does to thisday.But you would not return my love,so therefore, I swore that I would conquer the world!"Gilzilla took two steps toward her and theothers."And you are in the way ofmy obtaining that goal, so I must destroy you!"

MythicalSuper Hero Anne took the famous pose that was captured perfectly in thedrawings of Avonli Comics series of Mythical Super Hero Anne comic books,available at all newsstands."Youcannot destroy me," she laughed.

"Maybeyes, and maybe no," said Gilzilla, "but I can hurt deeply you bydestroying all whom you love."

Witha speed too quick for the human eye to see, and just barely within the range ofvisual ability of Mythical Super Hero Anne, Gilzilla loaded his slingshot andwith perfect aim hit Diannakiro, Matthewsan, and Malirra in their bums withpoisonous rocks.Before they could feelthe pain of the rocks, and before Mythical Super Hero Anne had a chance to stopGilzilla, all three of them fell to the floor, unconscious and quite likelydead. Mythical Super Hero Anne wasstunned for a hyper-nano-second. She told herself to ignore the feelings ofgrief that were sweeping throughout her body, and to return to the task beforeher.The time for grieving waslater.The time for destroying Gilzillawas at hand!

Shelooked at Gilzilla, who was standing in the doorway with his slingshot reloadedand poised to fire at her."Youhave destroyed all whom I care about," she said, as the red hair andfreckled rage that fueled her awesome powers began to grow in her belly anddisperse to all parts of her being."Now I will destroy you for sure!"

Withthat said, she dove across the living square, faster than the speed of sound,towards her back pack.Gilzilla firedhis slingshot as she dove, but missed her by centimetres.As he was reloading another poisonous rock,Mythical Super Hero Anne, grabbed three of the micro-slates from her backpackand, while still in the midst of her dive, threw them all at once towards thegiant green beast.They all hit him in thehead, one in the noggin, and two in the brainpan, just as he was firing hisslingshot.The force of the micro-slatesknocked him backwards, causing his shot to miss its target.He dropped his slingshot and staggered backagainst the wall, breaking through the paper-mache, into the kitchen square.He was dazed, and for all battle-purposes,out of commission.Mythical Super Hero Anne grabbed threemore micro-slates, and two braid-bombs and ran up to the fallen monster."With these braid-bombs I will destroyyou.First, for my fallen adoptedrelatives and friend, and second, for Mankind."She lifted a braid-bomb above her head, andwas about to throw it on Gilzilla.

"MythicalSuper Hero Anne," wheezed and gurgled the monster in his high pitchedvoice, though now it had none of the strength and confidence it had had justtwo seconds earlier, before the battle began.Now it did not sound the least bit funny.She thought she detected a glimmer ofhumanity in him.He sounded almostsad.But she knew that was impossible,for Gilzilla had relinquished all the sensitive human emotions when he turnedto a life of evil and revenge."Ihad hoped we could be good friends," he said.

Thislast remark caught Mythical Super Hero Anne off guard.She knew she had heard him say this to herbefore, but could not quite remember the circumstances.All at once, she remembered.She flashed back to their island home, beforeshe was adopted by Matthewsan and Malirra, when both she and Gilzilla were onthe Good side of super hero battles. Back then they fought well and bravelytogether.She knew, back then, thatGilzilla had feelings of deep love for her, and she could not deny to herselfthat she had similar feelings toward him. She remembered how hard it was to refuseGilzilla, back then, when he had asked her give up fighting Evil, so they couldlive peacefully together forever. She almost did give into him, but in the endknew that she couldn't, that she must remain forever single.An Evil-fighting super hero was what shetruly was, and must always remain even if it caused great hardship in herpersonal life.And, back then, ignoringher feelings for Gilzilla, and knowing how much that hurt Gilzilla, refuse himshe did.Saying no to him and seeing howgreatly it hurt him was the greatest hardship she had ever faced.

Thatdecision destroyed Gilzilla, the Good. It was what turned Gilzilla into theembittered, resentful, world-obsessed Evilness that she now saw, crumpled onthe kitchen floor before her.Yes, thehurt she felt back then was the greatest hardship she had faced. Until now. Fornow, having yet to properly grieve the loss of Matthewsan, Malirra, andDiannakiro; and, facing the horrible task of having to destroy Gilzilla, themonster whom she once loved and shunned, was the most difficult moment of herlife.Once I drop this braid-bomb, I will have nothing, thought MythicalSuper Hero Anne.My adopted parents are gone, my kindredspirit is gone, and now, my enemy will be gone.I’ll have nothing left.

Shelooked at Gilzilla, and realized she still cared for him, despite his Evilways.She smiled to herself at thethought of what might have been, and prepared to release her grip on the braidbomb.We had been great friends, once.

Asif reading her mind, Gilzilla said, "But now, we're greatenemies!"He swung out his leg withlightning quickness, and took the feet out from under Mythical Super HeroAnne.She fell to the floor, hitting herhead, rendering her dizzy.His trickworked!Just as he had hoped, Gilzilla'sremark about friendship had caused Mythical Super Hero Anne to reflect on herpast, just for a nanosecond, but long enough for him to restore some of hispowers and make his move.He jumped tohis feet, and ran for the door, still shaken from the micro-slates, but stillable to move faster than sound.Hepaused at the door, turned and looked at Mythical Super Hero Anne."I cannot destroy you in this lessenedstate of power.I must return to the seato heal my wounds," said the monster named Gilzilla, "but I will beback to see you destroyed, Mythical Super Hero Anne."And before she had a chance to go after him,he disappeared down the hallway, out into the city, and down to the sea.
